Dev - a question for you:

If network hashrate is same as the pool hashrate (checked that quite a few times) - how come that pool finds ~40% of blocks or less? Who's finding the rest?

This leads to a question why is solo-mining disabled (seems like deamon can't start in server mode)?

Some blocks were stuck and as a result the stats are incomplete. We are working on this issue to release pending payments.
The reason solo-mining is not available for an external miner is simple - unlike many other coins Revolver coin is based on the latest Bitcoin Core v0.12 which doesn't support getwork protocol. There is a special version of sgminer with GetBlockTemplate protocol support (Groestl's sgminer) but this needs time to be implemented.
By the way daemon can be started in server mode.
